Here is a cigarette that satisfies Chesterfields. Chesterfields are different. Chesterfields let you know you're smoking and they SATISFY.
They are a blend of the finest selections of Turkish and American tobaccos. And the formula for this blend is the manufacturer's secret. Unlike a patent, it cannot be copied or even closely imitated.

It now only remained to prove the dismemberment of the body and Voi:bo's actual bandwork in it and for this purpose the prisoner was Con- ducted to his old room in the Rue Mazarin-now occupied by a young married couple where he Was placed on a chair between two police- men. So far from showing any anxiety he prepared to watch the proceedings with a smile of amused inconcern on his face.
A DRAMATIC INFERENCE. On first entering the room, M. Macs had at once noticed a certain peculiari ty: The tiled floor sloped downwards from the window to the bed in the recess. He had also realised from the quantity and position of the furniture in Vorbo's time that the only part of the-room-in which there was space to move freely was around the circular table. He concluded, therefore, that, if the murder had been committed there, it must have been near that a table; and "further that probably the dismemberment had been perform ed_upon it.
Then, taking up a jug of water, ke said aloud:
+
I notice a slope on the floor. Now,
if a body was cut up on this table, the effusion of blood would have. been very great, and the blood must have followed this slope. Any: other fluid thrown down here must follow the same direction. I wit empty this jug upon the floor, and wo shall see what happens."
At these words there was an immed- iate change in Yoirbo's demeanour, terror seized him; he could hardly keep his seat; he clenched his hands, hit face grew ashy pale, and his staring eyes were fixed upon the water-jug
The water flowed straight towards the bed and collected beneath it in two great pools. The exact spot thus indicated was carefully sponged dry, and a mason was fetched to take up the tiles of the floor.
A quantity of dark stuff, presuma bly dried blood, was found below. The inference was obvious; the blood had flowed from the body and run through the interstices of the tiles, thus evading the washing of the floor, and proving the incompleteness of Voirbo's precautions. Later, the whole of the tiles and the saturated możtar were submitted to analytical tests, and. were beyond doubt proved to contain human blood.""
So affected, almost paralysed, was Voirbo by this dramatic demonetara tion of his guilt that he made a fall confession of his crime, which a Lew weeks later he expiated on scaffold.
